Maiara Walsh pulls her hair up in a classic updo to attend the 9th Annual Padres Contra El Cancer’s “El Sueno de Esperanza” Gala held at The Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles on Thursday evening (September 10).

Maiara recently caught up with About.com to dish on her charater, Ana. She shared, “She is a bit of a wild child. She and Gaby (Longoria Parker) butt heads and will continue to butt heads. She’s been bounced around from relative to relative. Her mom is in prison and she hasn’t seen her dad since she was 3, so she definitely has some issues. She’s decided that she is going to make things happen for herself and she’ll do whatever it takes to get what she wants. I think one of the reasons she and Gaby butt heads so much is because they’re so similar.”

The new season of Desperate Housewives premieres Sunday, September 27th @ 8PM ET/PT on ABC.
